Our verdict
The Freedom Plus makes the lift-out routine easier than any other cordless robot here. Choose the cheaper Freedom if you can live without the remote.
What we like
- Handheld remote calls the robot to the wall and drains it as it comes out
- Tap & Lift backup if the remote is lost
- App shows charge status and sends end-of-cycle alerts
- Polaris has a large US dealer network
- Handheld remote brings it to the wall and drains it as it comes out
- Tap & Lift backup with a pool pole
What to know
- Expensive for a 4 L canister
- Polaris does not list scheduling for the Freedom models
- The Pool Nerd notes Freedom suction fades as the battery drains
- Expensive
- No dirty-canister indicator
